FAQs

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, this product is specifically formulated for exterior surfaces and should not be used indoors; Hemway offers a dedicated interior paint range for those projects.

Do I need to prime the surface first?

For most masonry and metal surfaces, no priming is required, provided the surface is clean, dry, and free of wax or oil.

How many coats are typically needed?

While the high opacity offers great coverage, 1-2 coats are usually sufficient depending on the color of the substrate being covered.

Is this paint safe for outdoor furniture used by children?

Yes, it meets BS EN71-3 & ASTM F963-17 standards, making it safe for use on wooden and plastic toys.

Can I add glitter to this paint?

Yes, you can mix Hemway Glitter Paint Additives into the paint to achieve a unique, sparkling effect.

What is the best way to clean my brushes?

Since this is a water-based paint, you can easily clean your brushes and rollers using warm water.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface is completely free of wax, oil, and moisture; clean with a degreaser if necessary.

Streaky or uneven finish

Ensure the paint was stirred for a full two minutes and apply thin, even coats rather than one heavy layer.

Paint takes longer than 2 hours to dry

High humidity or low temperatures can extend drying times; ensure you are painting in dry conditions with good airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Requires no primer on most surfaces
  • Excellent coverage and opacity
  • Weatherproof and UV resistant
  • Environmentally friendly and low VOC
  • Dries quickly for efficient application

Cons

  • Not suitable for interior use
  • Requires proper surface preparation to remove wax and oil
  • May require clear lacquer for high-exposure areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and free of any wax, oil, or debris. While the paint is compatible with most old paint and varnish without sanding, a clean, dry surface is essential for proper adhesion. Use a standard paint brush or roller for application. If you are painting detailed masonry or want crisp edges, the paint works seamlessly with masking tape or stencils. Once finished, store the remaining paint in a cool, dry place. If you decide to add a decorative touch, the paint is compatible with Hemway Glitter Paint Additives for a unique sparkle effect. Always clean your brushes with water after use due to the water-based nature of the paint.
